Pipeline Modules

Definition

Pipeline Modules can be thought of as containers of very specific functions, or logic, that are performed on a PEM. They are connected so that as one module completes its task, it hands the PEM off to the next module or modules for execution. Pipeline Modules include

• 7-Segment Parser

• Business Logic

• Data Stream Writer

• Machine Learning

• Parsers

• Sentinels

• Workflows

Example

The Plymouth IoT Conveyor Belt’s Deployment Instance receives a Message from the belt with a bearing temperature reading of 475°. This Message is converted to a PEM and passed through several Pipeline Modules.

1. One module determines the Message is from PICBelt0012.

2. Another extracts the value of the temperature, 475°.

3. A third module compares this temperature to what is an expected value.

4. Finally, because the value is over the expected temperature, it sends a Notification to a shop floor manager.
